I recently jumped from Debian 9(w/MATE) - 12(w/MATE) in one step.
My Debian 9 settings can be traced back to Debian 6(w/Gnome).
I don't recall what settings I ended up with.
But I know what I have now is annoying.

Michael mentioned https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend and I found 
https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation .

I, and other inexperienced users, need proper definitions of 
sleep/suspend/hibernate/etc to use those pages and solutions to be 
described here.
